Diane von Furstenberg: ‘Less is More’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty,
Diane von Furstenberg believes "less is more" with make-up.
The iconic fashion designer - who turned 65 on December 31, 2011 - thinks it is important to be sparing with facial cover ups as you get older, and she specifically believes in accentuating cheekbones: "As I get older, I've found that less is more when it comes to make up. My signature look has always been about emphasizing my cheekbones and I love Nars Multiple Bronzer. It's a great way of giving your face a mini-lift without the surgery."
Now, Diane - who has her surname thanks to her marriage to Prince Egon of Furstenberg, with whom she split in 1972 - keeps youthful with regular exercise and a healthy diet. "Although I think it's important to maintain yourself, it should be without too much labor. I love hiking and when I'm at the office I make sure I always take the stairs, even with heels on. I haven't always been an angel but I've never gone too crazy either. I live pretty cleanly, enjoy a glass of red wine every now and again. The food you eat is super-important - an unhealthy lifestyle will always catch up with you," she told Marie Claire.

Cheryl Cole Wants More Beckham Dresses
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Cheryl Cole wants to own more Victoria Beckham dresses in 2012. The stylish beauty donned one of the former Spice Girl singer's creations for an awards show in London earlier this year, and she admits she is very keen to wear more of them in the next 12 months.
"I think Victoria Beckham is another girl who killed it this year. I love Victoria, I love her clothes and, actually, my festive wish would to be wearing more of it next year."
Despite seeing her profile peak during her stint as a judge on UK TV show X Factor - for which she became known for her style - Cheryl admits fashion was the last thing on her mind when she was on the show: "At the moment, I'm not constantly on TV, it's not as intense as it once was. I feel more relaxed because I'm judging doing music, going to the studio. To be honest, when I was on X Factor, what I wore was the least of my worries. But it's nice now not to have to even think about it, just to have a weekend."

Rachel Zoe is launching two new top-secret categories for her clothing line in February. The celebrity stylist - who launched her eponymous label earlier this year - will be adding to the collection but won't reveal what it will be.
"I'd have to kill you if I told you," she said in a video. The range already included ready-to-wear, shoes and bags so it is thought she may branch out into beauty and accessories.
As well as launching her debut fashion range, Rachel - who has previously worked with the likes of Nicole Richie and Cameron Diaz - became a mother to son Skyler earlier this year and compared the collection to "giving birth."
"Being a designer was the thing that I always said, 'I'm never going to do this, because I'm too scared to do this.' All of sudden during my presentation this season, I was like 'Oh my god, why am I doing this, I'm too scared to do this. Then it was like, it was almost like giving birth. When it was over, I was like, 'This is the most exciting, most challenging adventure. This is new, and this is fun.'"

Kim Kardashian Targeted By PETA Over Fur Fashion
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Kim Kardashian has been targeted by PETA in the organization's latest anti-fur campaign. The animal rights group (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has singled out the 31-year-old socialite in a new print poster which depicts two scared looking fox cubs accompanied by the strap line, "Kim: These babies miss their mother. Is she on your back?"
The reality TV star is being targeted by PETA because she regularly dons fur garments, despite having spoken to the pressure group about the cruel methods in which animals are slaughtered for their pelts.
"Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive. We've explained it to her, and she's watched a video expose that was filmed inside fur farms. When Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless," said PETA senior vice-president Lisa Lange.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Ashley Greene says it's "very cool" to appear on a giant billboard for DKNY.
The actress is the new face of the brand and says it was amazing to see her campaign be unveiled in New York's Times Square yesterday. "This is very cool. There are a lot of firsts for me here today. It's my first photo op in Times Square, my first time on one of these buses and my first billboard for DKNY Jeans. It's an exciting day. The campaign shots turned out great. They're such talented photographers and really captured the essence of New York."
Ashley is also an ambassador for Mark cosmetics and said she's happy that the two brands she works with are so complementary: "They pair together nicely. They reach the same demographic - young and carefree. And they both provide a positive message of empowerment for women."
The full DKNY advertising campaign featuring Ashley will be out beginning in early January.
Lindsay Lohan Becomes Face of Jag Jeans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Lindsay Lohan has become the new face of Jag Jeans. The actress - who recently posed naked for Playboy magazine - recently shot a campaign for the denim brand and impressed bosses with her professionalism.
"As Jag Jeans' newest endorser, Lindsay embodies the strength and fearlessness of the woman of today. She is unafraid to be who she is. She is fierce yet exudes feminine grace," a press release read. "Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way. Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots, as she was more than willing to change her hairstyle during mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry and accessories when needed."
Kate Moss Planning Fashion Range With Daughter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Girls,
Kate Moss is teaming up with her nine-year-old daughter to create a girls' clothing range. The supermodel and little Lila Grace are working with British high street store Debenhams on a range of "funky tweenage" designs, due for release in summer 2012.
"Lila has always loved trying on Kate's clothes and make-up, and is already really into fashion. It was mainly all her idea and Kate obviously agreed to help out as much as possible, using her contacts to land the duo a deal. Lila is adamant the range will be very traditional and English rose-esque in feel. Lila doesn't want to produce chavvy clothes. The collaboration was actually inspired by Kate's mates, Jemima French and Sadie Frost's new FrostFrench Iris and Edie capsule range of sleepwear after their daughters got involved. Kate and Lila Grace will get cracking on designs over the festive period, mulling over ideas at Kate's Cotswolds' pad," a source said.
Kate recently revealed Lila is quite "prudish" and will often tell her mother off when she doesn't take off her make-up: "I always take my make-up off, because otherwise my daughter will come in and say, 'Mummy, tut-tut'. She doesn't like it. She likes the fresh-faced, natural mummy, when I've got my hair in a bun and no make-up on. Lila is quite prudish - she'll only wear a little bit of lip gloss or something. But she is into nail art. I think Lila is beautiful - she's so innocent and has that fresh face. She's gorgeous, but obviously she is my daughter."
Sarah Burton Glad to Be at McQueen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Sarah Burton is "glad" she agreed to take over as Alexander McQueen's creative director.
The designer - who was given the coveted role following the tragic suicide of the label's founder Alexander McQueen in February 2010 - says she was initially unsure about doing the job, but looking back, she is pleased she did.
"He was such a genius; inspiring and funny and an incredible man. I could never pretend to be him but when I look back now, I'm glad that I took the job - because it kept the studio alive in his spirit, and it kept the team together. Because what did he work so hard for all those years if it was all just going to disappear?"
Sarah - who created Duchess Catherine's wedding dress when she married Prince William in April - recently said she regards the Alexander McQueen team to be "like a family" feels "privileged" to be part of the brand: "Every day, I love what I do and I think it's a gift and privilege to love your job. The McQueen team is like family. We are so passionate about what we do and it's so important that we have established a couture-standard atelier in Britain."
